No, that is not a bait-click title. We were robbed.
Sometime when I went to Costco yesterday and was gone for a mere 3 hours, we were robbed. The crackheads (I'll get to why we feel that way) stole two iPads (both Bear's) and ten dollars in petty cash.
Now, it's story time:
I went to Costco and made a last dash at Toys R Us for early birthday/Christmas gifts for Bear.
Disclaimer: Though I usually post a lot of vegan and vegetarian dishes, the following dish is NOT vegan.
My husband is Ukrainian. Russian-Ukrainian-Polish-Slavic and whatever else is in that Heinz 57 goodness of him. I have to admit, though we've been together for a long while, I haven't been making that many Ukrainian or Russian dishes. Yes, I'm a bad wife on that part. But I'm getting better!
I wanted to
I'm in my old neighborhood of Highland Park, Los Angeles, on a regular basis. While I do love living in Pasadena, I really miss the old neighborhood and its charm.
As we spent some time in town over the weekend, I stopped by an interesting shop called Prelude & Dawn. I haven't been there before nor did I stop by when I lived in HLP (I know, shame on me).

You never really know how your partner will be as a father until he is one. The same can be said for mothers; you just don't know until you're 100% responsible for a little human.
I knew Maks was going to be a great father because of how big his heart is. He's super generous with his time and energy. He loves to give people benefit of the doubt even
I'll be very clear - I'm not vegan. I have no desire to become vegan, but I do have a lot of respect of those who are vegan. And I have to admit - vegan food has definitely benefited my health. I've lost weight, I have more energy, and I feel better overall. That's why I keep preparing vegan dishes and sharing with you all what I find or
Over the years, I've become a fan of the nude lip. And being a dark-skinned woman, sometimes it's hard to find the right one that won't make me look like a clown-in-waiting at Circus Circus.
While I have boasted about my love of NARS, I love a good dupe. I love saving money.
Enter Black Radiance.
Black Radiance is a brand that's been around for a while, and it caters specifically to
My little garden that could is coming along nicely. So, let's check out what Mother Nature (and numerous bees) have helped me.
Because I have so many plants in my garden, I'm going to break down this post into four parts - succulents, edible plants, fragrant plants, and tree. Yes, just one tree.
Succulents:
I recently purchased succulent plant food (and honestly, I had no idea it existed nor was it something
A few weeks I received my latest Shea Moisture box and I have to say I liked this box a bit more than other ones. Now, it's not to say the other boxes weren't great, but I felt this one was more catered to having a small child in my care, than a baby. I also found a lot of great uses for it as an adult!
Enough babbling, let's
I honestly I don't care about royal weddings.
It's not a race thing. I simply don't care too much about royalty. I don't care what causes they do, how many kids they have, or what fashion statements they make.
Nothing against royalty, but it's like either you like them, or you don't care. I don't think I ever encountered anyone who's hated them. I think the only time I was ever affected
I need to make this very clear before I continue with this blog post:
I don't like Donald Trump.
In fact, I've never liked him.
And I probably never will.
I didn't vote for him.
I try very hard not to pay any attention to him. It's hard since he makes the news every single night.
I honestly think he's an embarrassment to the United States and the world.
That being said, when he made this
